This bill, the Agent Raul Gonzalez Officer Safety Act, increases penalties for individuals who intentionally flee from law enforcement officers, specifically U.S. Border Patrol agents, while operating a motor vehicle near the U.S. border. It establishes criminal charges and fines, with penalties escalating significantly if the fleeing results in serious bodily injury or death.
